Our products

eHive

eHive is an innovative web-based system used by hundreds of small museums and private collectors to catalogue objects, manage acquisition information and share their collections online. Many larger institutions have also chosen to use eHive as an online publishing platform.

As an eHive account holder you can choose to keep your object records private, or publish them to our website eHive.com. If you decide to publish your records they’ll be displayed along side artefacts from national and regional museums, local curiosities and never before seen objects from private collections.

Take a tour to find out more about using the system or go to eHive.com to explore the collections of museums and collectors from around the world.

Vernon CMS

Vernon CMS is a sophisticated collection management system that handles all common collection processes and types of objects. It is a modular system, which means you can tailor it to suit your collection, your specific needs and your budget.

The Cataloguing module is the core, covering all of the key features needed to manage a collection. Add-ons and modules provide additional functionality in the form of activities management, online publishing and RFID location tracking.

Vernon CMS can also be used in conjunction with eHive to provide comprehensive collection management with a simple, sustainable option for online publishing. See our website vernonsystems.com for more information or contact us at sales@vernonsystems.com to discuss which of our systems would best suit your needs.

Testimonials

I’ve worked with the Team at eHive to deliver three online collection projects – across archives, library and art museum collections, both in New Zealand and Australia. The technical support is exemplary and the eHive Team have offered guidance and advice that makes solving any problems easy and maximising project potential possible. I’ve used eHive as both a host website for online collections, and for a fully integrated museum website search experience that has helped diversify our audiences and allow people to respond to collections in a tangible way.
